Aiding and abetting?
Osama bin Laden poked his pointy snout out of his rat hole the other day and released an audio tape with yet another of his Tales from Beyond.
For the intrepid reader, Walid Phares has the message in Arabic, with translation, over at the Counterterrorism Blog.
One point of bin Laden's message caught my eye in particular. The Becaved One says this (from the BBC text):
I ask again of the anti-war Left, does it not trouble you that your active opposition to the US prosecution of the war on terror resonates with Osama bin flipping Laden?
Does it not trouble you that the fact your desire to harm your political opponents in any way possible trumps any rational assessment of the need to defend ourselves gives reason for hope to the likes of Osama bin flipping Laden?
Honestly, enough nicey-nicey. I am going to start questioning the patriotism of the anti-war Left.

However, what prompted me to speak are the repeated fallacies of your President Bush in his comment on the outcome of the US opinion polls, which indicated that the overwhelming majority of you want the withdrawal of the forces from Iraq, but he objected to this desire and said that the withdrawal of troops would send a wrong message to the enemy.
....
Based on the above, we see that Bush's argument is false. However, the argument that he avoided, which is the substance of the results of opinion polls on withdrawing the troops, is that it is better not to fight the Muslims on their land and for them not to fight us on our land.

Amen to that. Many of us in the military already started the inquiry years ago. I believe we concluded that the left is a bunch of misguided souls, well meaning perhaps on the part of some, but out of sync with reality to the point our national security suffers anytime their guidance is the majority.
